2026 Summer Ocean Swim

I'm supporting cancer research and the health of people in Australia 

Roughly 1 in 2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. This is a statistic that we need to change. 

So, I've decided to take on a personal challenge with the support of CanToo, to raise funds along the way that could be life-changing. From supporting the ongoing health promotion work CanToo provides, to funding incredible, innovative early-career cancer researchers.

We desperately need to find more solutions to cancer, from prevention, to treatment, and ultimately a cure. Please support me on my journey with CanToo by donating to my fundraising page today!

Thank you for your support!

Newport Pool to Peak: My First 2km Open-Water Swim

Saturday 10th Jan

Last Sunday, I successfully swam the 2km course in the Newport Pool to Peak race. It was a beautiful day, though I was a little anxious going in — it was my first organised open-water swim. Partnering with a fellow CanToo swimmer helped calm the nerves and made all the difference.


I completed the swim in just under an hour. There was a gentle swell, which made it feel like a proper ocean swim rather than laps in a pool. Looking back at the shoreline afterwards, it was hard to believe I’d actually swum that far.


Beyond the sense of personal achievement, being part of CanToo gives a day like this additional meaning. Cancer has affected several people in my family, as it has for so many others, and supporting cancer research through this challenge feels like a positive way to contribute.


A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already donated — your support means a great deal. And if you haven’t yet and are able to, I’d really appreciate your help in supporting this important cause.

Taking on a challenge for a good cause

Wednesday 26th Nov
After I came back exhausted from a swim in Shelly Beach last summer, I promissed myself that my lack of fitness would not get in the way of my love for the ocean.
One thing led to another and, a month ago, I joined the CanToo program on my physio's advice.
CanToo is a charity that helps individuals achieve their fitness goals while funding early-career cancer researchers.
This a great cause to support as cancer affects us all and and I’d truly appreciate any help towards my fundraising goal.
So, how am I doing? I am glad to report a personal milestone last week: I swam from Manly Beach to Shelly Beach. Tick.

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
